This is one of Lara's favorite coffee spots! It's right across the street from our dinner location, W.A. Frost, and if you stroll through the building that houses Nina's, you'll find some beautiful architecture and mirror work. Tip - it's pronounced Nine-ahs.

Cossetta is a St. Paul INSTITUTION. Its a cafeteria-style Italian eatery and pizzaria, Pasticceria, and marketplace. Peters picks: Pollo Arrosto salad, an Italian Hero sandwich, the mini Cassata, and an espresso.
Laras picks: Mostaccioli light on the red sauce, the Banana Foster, and Pistachio Gelato.

This is one of our favorite St. Paul spots. Housed in an old firehouse, the food, cocktails, and coffee here always hit.

The Como Park Zoo & Conservatory is a free, family friendly spot in our neighborhood. There are many exotic animals to see and the various gorgeous gardens in the conservatory.

A perfect dive bar to watch the game.

One of Lara's favorite spots for coffee and pastries. The almond kringler is a must.
